This is an interesting piece of news for all you 3D modellers out there :
Autodesk (the makers of 3D Studio) has signed an agreement to acquire Alias (the makers of Maya) for around 180 Million Dollars.

But if you're using Maya, don't worry. Autodesk will continue the product lines of Alias (at least for the next few years). You can read up more information about this on a special page set-up by Autodesk. ('http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=5970886&siteID=123112')

Some of the artists at work had a bit of a whinge about that, being fans of Maya over Max. As a company, we have recently moved from Max to Maya.
